If you drank some gasoline, maybe. I’ve read professional athletes can eat 10k calories while training and a quick search says competitive eaters can do 16k calories, so neither come close.

From what I’ve read, opiod users are often forced into taking fentanyl, either knowingly or not. Fentanyl is addictive, has a short high, and concentrated. It’s amazing for dealers. They can smuggle and hide the drugs easily, as well as sell it quickly due to users blowing through their stash as soon as they get it. Some dealers even cut their other drugs with fentanyl to make them addictive.

It’s terrible for users though. Fentanyl being so concentrated makes it incredibly easy to overdose. Opiod users develop a tolerance very quickly and need to take larger doses to feel to same high. The combination of taking higher doses and a drug that is easy to overdose on is deadly. The concentration also means cutting it into other drugs makes it easy to miscalculate dosage. I’ve heard of a study where seized MDMA pills cut with fentanyl were tested and 20% contained a fatal dose.

Opioid users having access to controlled doses of a less deadly opioid would drastically reduce overdose deaths. Often users are taking it just to stave off the absolutely terrible withdrawal symptoms rather than to get high. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who believe anyone who does drugs deserves to die.

I had the opposite TIL when I learned other cultures only apologize for wrong doings and not as a sign of sympathy.

A guy at my school was caught using the library printer to print out Pokemon hentai to bring home. They moved the printer to behind the desk so you needed to ask someone for what you printed.

As a Canadian, I never know if I’m supposed to be looking for the Stars and Stripes or Union Jack.

My friends and I played the Sunderfolk demo. The phone thing feels like a gimmick and doesn’t add anything.

We play Jackbox games and those make use of the phone. You vote on trivia answers, you draw something, everyone writes an answer and then you guess who wrote what. In Sunderfolk, you use your phone to move your character. They could have just made it a normal game like Baldur’s Gate.

The reason why they didn’t is probably because the lore and gameplay are ridiculously simple. It seems like it’s meant to be a party game anyone can play, but it’s also something you’d play over multiple sessions. It’s like they wanted both casual and table top audiences and got neither instead.

Lemmy has a lot of downvoters now. I try not to let it bother me! Thanks for contributing.

For those who wish to steer clear of all kinds of Gooners until the situation cools down, there are plenty of other Arsenal fan sites without any misleading connotations, like Arseblog.

I would have already assumed a site called “Arseblog” would be full of gooners.

Right, but that’s like saying you can fix a broken space heater by wearing a sweater.

how did that fix happen?

The LLM gets retrained. Fixes cannot be done by hand because nobody knows how an LLM gets the answers it does. It takes the input, runs it through a gigantic math equation that was generated during training, and gets an answer. If the answer is wrong, the giantic equation needs to be fixed, but it can only be fixed by retraining.

A lot of models now do “chain of thought” or “reasoning” but those terms seem like they were made by marketing teams. Essentially, researchers found that if an LLM gave a wrong answer it could be prompted to change its answer to the correct one. For example, if you asked an LLM to count the frequency of each letter in “strawberry” and then ask it how many times “r” shows up, it’ll get the right answer. “Reasoning” models simulate this process by getting the LLM to prompt itself several times in the background before giving a final answer. This helps filter out a lot of the “how many R’s in strawberry” mistakes at the cost of requiring the LLM to turn 1 user prompt into dozens of hidden background prompts which takes more time and computer power, but at least you might not need to retrain it.

Math educator, 3Blue1Brown, has a great series on how neural networks are trained and function. I liked the series because it starts off with an overview without any math in case you wanted to know the basics without learning about the calculus and linear algebra.

"Other unions may say, ‘Well, let’s put it all together and make it a national strike for all these unions,’ he said. “That’s the danger.”

The danger is class solidarity?

In Ontario, Canada, the regulations are that the crematorium places a metallic ID tag with the body. That tag follows the body throughout the process and will be included with the ashes. The urn should come with some paperwork saying “cremated remains of John Smith #2875” and the urn should have a metal tag with “2875” stamped on it inside. I’d assume other places follow similar regulations.

This type of system prevents mistakes, but it doesn’t prevent the crematorium staff from lying and producing fraudulent tags and paperwork. At some point, you just have to trust the cremated remains you’ve been given are the right ones and the staff aren’t purposefully lying to you.

Any disease that causes you to slowly go mad. Things like fatal insomnia or rabies.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I liked taking my time exploring the beautiful world. I did my best to see and collect everything.

A comedian explaining the joke is like Dr. Louis Slotin explaining nuclear fission with a subcritical mass of plutonium, two beryllium reflectors, and a screw driver. It will eventually end their career (becuase Dr. Slotin died of acute radiation syndrome after the screw driver slipped, the beryllium reflectors touched, and the plutonium underwent nuclear fission, delivering a lethal dose of radiation in under a second).

Benn Jordan’s video, You Are Witnessing the Death of American Capitalism, talks about how American companies and investors operate today.

Lots of companies are no longer trying to convince investors that they can increase profits and, therefore, give a cut to investors. They instead try to convince investors that they can increase their valuation, their stock price. Essentially, if investors buy a stock now they could sell it for a profit later. Who are they going to sell that stock to? Other investors of course! So you really do end up in this game where investors are in their own little world just lying to each other.

This is what you get when you request a ‘.jpg’ url from Reddit. It’s a webpage and not just the image.

Hot take: anyone who hospitalizes someone else with life threatening injuries should be required to defend that action in court. “I was defending myself” is a valid argument, but one that should be heard by a judge at trial. Nobody should be allowed to skip trial entirely just by claiming self defence.
